I only kept those trash youtube vids on youtube to remind me when I made the jump:

So, it's 1y of using linux. From trash windows with tons of windhawk mods on and tons of autohotkey scripts that do simple basic stuff like switch desktop when hitting super+1234 to modify keyboard and have hotstrings.

I made the switch 1y ago. And tried lxde even though it was old. It was like 600mb or something doing basically the same things I had to modify windows to do. Windows ate 4gb on boot. lxde didn't, ofc I was noob I didn't know how to customize and configure more. Switched to lxqt. spent 5 months bloating it. then spent 2 months debloating it. Turns out less is more. Switch to i3 at the end.

learned c, learned python, learned assembly, learned basic tools, learned basic math and in general basic computer science. And so much more (linux on phone, trying kali linux for funz and networking basics... nethunter... getting isos... booting archlinux from phone no usb needed. dual booting windows 10 again and breaking bootloader. screwing around with it. VMs. many OS testing.... etc)

1y. exactly 1y. I'm crying man I can't believe all this was possible in 1y. I was trash at learning. I only started to know how to learn like 2 weeks ago. I could have done more, I was lazy but yet the time I spent on linux tought me a lot.

Thank you linux and everyone who contributed or simply use linux for this awesome project. It removed some limits on me and I appreciate it a lot. School failed me. My OS failed me my computer failed me my family almost failed me. But at least it was a cool 1y.

Today I haven't slept for 24hrs and been listening to:

on repeat while continuing my assembly journey. I'm so excited for this year
